Chroma Delay - is where the Chroma (color) and luma (brightness) signals are not synchronized.This allows you to adjust the advance delay of the chroma signal to yield a perfectly clear picture.

Gamma - allows you to adjust the intensity of the picture non-linearly. A positive value allows you to bring out low level detail in dark scenes, while a negative value will emphasize contrast.

Sharpness - allows you to adjust sharpness of the picture.

DCDi (New Directional Correlation De- interlacing) - computes and tracks the angle of edge to fill in the missing pixel on the TV screen. Switching DCDi ON will optimize the image quality significantly, especially during the slow motion playback.
